In the burning flame, an empire really died, and a democratic Republic was born in the fire, officially announcing its birth.
After fulfilling his promise 13 years ago, Su Yonglin announced the official exhibition of the Great Democratic Republic during the political training period as the new chairman of the executive Committee of the people’s congress.
Su Yonglin declared that although the Constitution stipulates that all power belongs to the people, due to the well-known practical problems, Su Yonglin believes that the quality and cultural level of the people at the present stage are not enough to undertake the decision-making of state affairs.
For the general public, what they need to achieve at present is to improve their knowledge, understand politics and be familiar with the people’s congress system and their own power.
Only when these affairs are completed can the people really benefit from the people’s congress system and representative status to participate in state governance, and it will not affect the normal handling of state affairs and the situation of big countries.
The great democratic Republic system not only needs people to enjoy full benefits, but also needs people to bear enough responsibilities to form a sense of responsibility for national citizens and people’s representatives to further awaken.
Su Yonglin believes that the first stage of awakening is to liberate the people from the hands of landlords and powerful men, so that they can gain the consciousness and dignity of free men and get rid of the shackles of feudal times.
And make them have a sense of national consciousness and national responsibility, feel that they are an individual country and have a sense of national citizenship, and fully understand their own interests and responsibilities. This is the second stage of awakening.
It is the duty of public officials in the period of political training in the Great Democratic Republic to make the people have national citizenship awareness, national citizenship knowledge and literacy and participate in national political life spontaneously.
Su Yonglin announced that this is the only way to move from empire to democratic republic.
The great need is that citizens should complete the second awakening instead of staying in the current state.
It is necessary to realize the goal of establishing people’s congresses with equal responsibilities in every province, state capital and county during the political training period, and to call and select people’s representatives regularly so as to truly become a progressive, glorious and light democratic Republic.
This declaration was officially launched after the closing of the people’s congress meeting, which is different from and a blockbuster for everyone, especially the court officials.
Su Yonglin then gave instructions to the major departments of the imperial court on the status of chairman of the executive committee.
It is required that all departments of the imperial court, especially the judicial department, should organize legal publicity activities nationwide after finishing a series of laws, including the constitution, and preach the law from farmers in the most basic farms
The first thing to talk about is that the Constitution, the Civil Law, the Criminal Law and the Labor Law make these four laws complete for the people. It doesn’t matter if you spend more energy.
Su Yonglin paid special attention to this matter and told it well before the delegates.
Su Yonglin believes that there is a very bad phenomenon in the whole history of the old times. To sum it up, it is called "if the punishment is unknown, the power is unpredictable."
During the Spring and Autumn Period, every vassal state had its own self-discipline laws, but these laws were not made public, and a few law enforcers knew them but the people didn’t.
It was not until the governor of Zheng made up his mind to cast the laws of Zheng into a cauldron that the legal provisions were finally known. This was the first time since the beginning of time that the vassal state caused a sensation.
At that time, the doctor’s uncle of the state of Jin wrote to criticize the property, saying that people would be disrespectful when they knew that there were laws, and they would abandon etiquette and levy laws and regulations in vain. There would be more cases of breaking the law, bribery would be everywhere, and state rule would be in trouble.
There is some truth in what uncle Xiang said.
Because what happened later did confirm some of the disadvantages he said, such as relying on the shortcomings of the law to drill for personal gain, and that was the birth of a lawsuit.
However, according to what he said, the problem is even bigger, because there are laws, but the people don’t know that they can’t regulate their own behavior according to the legal requirements, thus avoiding the official punishment.
This is terrible. It is not clear what to do legally and what to do illegally. Even if you don’t know whether it will be illegal to pick a bucket of water and cut down a tree, you will be restricted everywhere and life will be very embarrassing and difficult.
At the same time, knowing that the judge’s office can bully the people at will, they don’t know whether to ask for justice for themselves anyway
In this case, what officials say is what people should do.
The matter of casting penalty is of progressive significance and has been criticized and opposed by nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is inevitable to advance with the tide of history after all.
But things are not over here.
Chapter 1595 Give each other chains
There is no doubt that the penalty of casting property is of positive progressive significance, and other subsequent vassal States have set a precedent by promulgating written laws
However, in the years after the penalty of property casting, although the legal provisions can be published to the public, it still faces four severe challenges, and the whole society has not become a society ruled by law
These four challenges are really representative.
The first is that the imperial system, the emperor’s heaven is above the law, and such a guy who is above everyone is equal to the dynasty law in this world, which is a skeleton and has no real legal value.
The bureaucrats of the second Reich relied on the emperor to be responsible for the emperor, but not for the people. In essence, they also despised the interests of the ruling class, oppressed the people by law, and suppressed the people by law, instead of regulating people’s behavior.
Third, the people are generally illiterate, and there is no way to learn. They can’t understand the legal provisions in front of them. The law protects their own interests, so in the end, there is a law that inherits family knowledge and divides legalists into court judges, such as the famous Guo Jia, who was born in Yingchuan Guo.
The fourth legal provisions are limited by the times and people’s cognition, and there will inevitably be many loopholes. Even if it develops into a society ruled by law, there will be people like litigators who will seize the legal loopholes to gain benefits from them and trample on the significance of legal dignity.
Su Yonglin believes that the chaos of the people ruled by the dynasty was mainly caused by these four problems, and some civil chaos and corruption cases in the early days of the founding of the great country also originated from this.
Everyone really thinks that the law is waste paper, an official word and two mouths. What is it when you touch it? What’s wrong with turning black and white?
Can you turn over the sky with a grass-roots man?
